Caloroga Shark Media. Hello, I’m Jennie Mack with your Daily Comedy News. I saw this several places, but I’ll source this story from Joe dot com, who recapped this is a thing. I looked around the internet this happened. Amy Schumer has suggested that Amy Schumer is the most successful woman comedian of all time.
This came part of a back and forth where Amy was coming under fire for some comments she has made around the ongoing Israel and Palestine conflict. Late last week, Amy posted a series of text based pictures on her Insta to clarify her position on the conflict. Amy clarified she wants every hostage back, saying quote, I want safety and freedom for Hamas for Palestinians and Israelis. I want safety for Jewish people and Muslims as well everyone just like you, I want peace. You will never see me wishing harm on anyone saying I’m Islamophobic or that I like geniside is crazy.
So here you go. By popular demand comments on please keep the blow in mind, people started commenting. Schumer commented on the comments, Amy wrote, when you say I’m rich, please add in self made. I come from being dirt. Poor Senator Chuck Schumer is my dad’s second cousin, once removed.
I didn’t meet him until I was twenty five. More comments, I have never been given any money to sport a cause other than Tampon’s. She decided to defend a long standing claim that she was a joke thief, writing I’ve never stolen a joke. Let’s dive in on that. There’s a YouTube video by the Tangerine Show that has a twenty five minute compilation.
I’m just going to play two and I am scoping these downs so we don’t spend five minutes on this. The first joke from Kevin Neilan, then Amy Schumer, second joke from John Mulaney, then Amy Schumer. It dawned on me that I don’t see it in colors. I don’t. In high school, I went out with this Chinese girl for a while once.
I didn’t even know she was Chinese. I thought, I don’t know, maybe really tired. And she’s like, well, I’m offended because I’m Asian, and I was just like, well, I’m sorry, but I didn’t even notice that. I thought you were just like really tired. Blacking out is when you drink so much that your brain goes to sleep, but your body gets all Aya the Tiger and soldiers on and I black out when I drink.
Is that the worst? No, your mind goes to sleep, but your body’s like ten. That is my night. If you do a Google search for Amy Schumer joke thief, some of the articles that come up are from Variety. Amy Schumer denies stealing Oscar’s joke off Twitter.
Vox has Amy Schumer’s alleged joke stealing, explained. The Daily Beast wrote, is Amy Schumer really a joke thief anyway? Topic for a different day. Amy also in the comments, wrote, people calling me a failed comic, I’m the most successful female comedian of all time. We’ll come back to that more comments.
I’m ugly slash fad. Okay, sorry you aren’t attracted to me. I found someone who is. I hope you find someone too. Next comment, We’re all in a lot of pain.
What hurts the most is that we actually love each other. You hate Jews. You don’t know why I still love you. As for Amy describing herself as the most successful female comedian of all time, I’ll let you ponder who it might be. Joan Rivers came to mind to me.
But Joan is from a different era, So let’s pull out a little more modern. How about Ellen DeGeneres worth five hundred million dollars. How about Julia Louis Dreyfuss. How about Rosie O’Donnell worth one hundred and twenty million dollars. How about Melissa McCarthy reportedly worth ninety million?
Amy Is reportedly worth forty five million. I’m doing some Google here. How about Lucille Ball? Why wasn’t she kind of successful? Joan Rivers, Roseanne Ellen, Carol Burnett pretty successful?
Amy, Betdie White, Sarah Silverman, Lisa Lampinelli, Whitney Cummings, Tina Fay pretty successful. So I don’t know. So is she in the conversation? Sure? Absolutely?
Is she number one the most successful woman comedian of all time? Not sure the body works there? Amy plus youd better watch out for Taylor Thomson. Taylor is the new host of After Midnight. That’s the CBS reboots of At Midnight.
This will aer at twelve thirty seven AM. That’s why it’s now called After Midnight, not at Midnight. Thank you for Dan Blueblitz Junior for putting this on My Radar via the Daily Comedy News podcast group. No day yet for After Midnight with Taylor Thompson, but a really good choice for host. I think she’ll be great at that.
Sarah Silverman hosts The Daily Show this week. Sarah has also been quite outspoken about the Warsole. We’ll see what happens on The Daily Show this week. Chelsea Paretti is bringing her podcast back. The original run of Call Chelsea Peretti ran from twenty twelve to twenty fifteen, with occasional episodes from twenty sixteen to twenty twenty.
On that Chelsea Paretti fielded phone calls from bewildered fans. The new version will drop every Thursday starting this week, November ninth. The press release tells us they’ll be talking to a Tahoe bear attack survivor, a couple that transformed their long into a vibrant wild flour garden, and a shocking episode on geese attacks. KC dot Com asked Nikki Glaser if she was a good girl in college. Nikki Glaser said, Yeah, it was.
I was so focused on being a comedian. I was so obsessed with stand up. I just kind of knew that a college education wasn’t going to change my life at all. I was just doing it to appease my parents because they were paying for school, so I wasn’t really focused on school or the college lifestyle is constantly driving to case to do stand up. Seth Myers is touring a new hour.
Seth said, my stand up special, Lobby Baby, came out at the end of twenty nineteen, so this has been an hour I started writing during the pandemic. It probably almost entirely turned over since the first time I did the show. But it’s sort of a rolling hour that you’re constantly building on. And when things that happen are funny based on being a husband, or based on being a dad, or based on being a son, those don’t really fit into the body of late night. So stand up’s been a wonderful place to sort of hold on to that as well.
And it’s good to have a bunch of different avenues when you’re a comedian because then you never come up with a tier where they don’t have a place for it. Seth. How is it doing a comedy show right now when the news is so heavy? Seth said, it’s cathartic. That’s the short answer, And we want our show to be cathartic for the people who watch it, because it’s certainly cathartic for us to do it.
The news happens whether you do a comedy show or not, and getting to sit in a room full of people that you love and to make you laugh is the best way to get through it. And if I didn’t have a show, I’d just be muttering about these things to myself on the street. The spokesman caught up with Adam Carolla, who before he was an entertainer, he was a craftsman. Corolla said, I did all sorts of things in the world. One day I could be making a dollhouse and the next day hanging drywall.
I realized that if I just hung drywall, I’d make more money, but if I committed to that life, I’d get bored. It’s the same with entertainment. I like variety. He talked about his two thousand and nine sitcom pilot called Ace in the Hole, which was an all in the family type show. All right, tap the brakes there, Adam Corolla, He said, we had a good script, a good premise.
Who was a powerhouse pilot. However, it’s the process that got us with pilots. It’s like flowers at its ear broth. A bunch of middle aged women who are not funny at all, oversee the entire process, and after making a number of compromises, you end up with a sitcom like According to Jim, it was frustrating. Corolla talked about working with Donald Trump on The Celebrity Apprentice back in twenty twelve.
Corolla said, when he became president wasn’t surreal for me. I got to know Donald Trump a bit and his kid’s a bit. I clearly remember how my mom was with it. She was a left wing nut job who embraced every bad idea California ever had. She hated Trump but really didn’t know his policies.
I remember saying that I knew the president, and she said, you really don’t know the president and I said, I do. If he sees me, he’ll say, hi, Adam, how are you. My mom said, but you don’t really know the president and I said, you mean, like what’s in his heart? My mother tried to talk me out of whether I knew the president. My mother wasn’t a fan of mine, but she hated Trump.
Did I mention I ran the marathon yesterday. It’s entirely possible. I taped this before the marathon, you know, so I’ll catch up on that tomorrow. I was watching some TV late last week. I caught up on Ralph Barbosa’s special on Netflix.
It’s perfectly watchable. I did add it to the top of the year, but in the number twenty spot. I’m not going to recap the whole list today, So Ralph Barbosa, it’s nice. I enjoyed it a couple out louds. I thought it would be based on the buzz on Ralph.
I thought it would be a lot stronger. But it’s fine, nothing wrong with it. Dusty Slay sweeted, hey, I just put out he didn’t say hey. Why did I add the hey? Dusty Slade did not say hey.
Dusty Slay wrote, I just put out a fifty minute stand up video on YouTube for those that have been following me for a while. It won’t be anything new, but I recorded this in twenty nineteen. If you have friends that don’t know me, please share it with them. I have some friends that don’t know me, but we’re all on a Facebook group together, the Daily Comedy News podcast group and I shared the link there. It’s called being Poor in the Trailer Parks.
If you’re on YouTube. The New York Comedy Festival continues today, stand Up for Heroes at Lincoln Center. Pretty good line up, John Stewart, Jimmy Carr, one of my faves, Ronny Chieng, Shean Gillis, Tracy Morgan, Well, some music by Josh Grobin and John Mellencamp and others. That’s obviously the big show tonight. A bunch of smaller shows.
A comedian I like a lot of Adrian Apple. Lucci’s at the Standard eight Britannic. Oh, that’s interesting that they came to New York eight o’clock, the Triad Theater, Triumph, the Insult Comic Dog at the Murmur Theater at eight, Joe Firestone and Made Higgins at the Little Field at eight. Love this title, Gay Bye Play. That’s at the Brooklyn Arthouse at ten.
Another funny title, The Luke Ass Spectacular with Kate sisk at the Little Field at ten thirty. Ooh, some fun stuff tomorrow, but you have to tune in tomorrow to find out what that is, or you can just go on their website. It’s all there. I also caught up on Mark Marin’s podcast. I was enjoying his interview with Larry Charles, but the part that was piquing my interest was Maren’s frank discussion of getting older and sensing that someday we all die.
And it spoke to me a lot of what’s been going on this year, including running a marathon trying to beat father time. Right, that’s part of what’s going on. And I won’t bore you with what I start thinking about three in the mornings. I don’t sleep most nights. But Mark Maron with Larry Charles, the death parts were kind of enjoyable.
That’s weird recommendation, Johnny Mack. I know right. Futurama is back, baby. Hulu has ordered two more seasons. Season eleven premiered back in July.
I’ve watched two and a half of them and got distracted. It made Nielsen’s top ten original series for six weeks. Season twelvell debut next year, and then seasons thirteen and fourteen. At some point in the future, are you watching Rick and Morty. It’s just off.
I keep talking about this. The Rick voice is fine, but the Rick voice doesn’t stammer in the way it would stammer. You know, I’m stammering like Rick traditionally would go back and he’d go back and he’d say something a couple times in a row. He’d say something a couple times in the row. Morty, and he’s not doing that now.
Mike Birbigley is the old man in the pool. Will come to Netflix November twenty. First, we’re going to be busy Thanksgiving weekend. The show is to take on life’s big questions like why are we here, what’s next? And exactly how much chlorine do they put in the YMCA pool.
Steve oh will release a comedy special on November fourteenth. It’s called buget List. You’ll have to go to his website STEVEO dot com to see this one. Steve O tells Deadline, I’ve poured my heart and soul into the show and can’t wait to unleash it on the world. Securing the right distribution partner and finding a company that understood my audience and would embrace the no holds barred nature of what I do.
Steve O dot com. Will the upcoming season of Curb Your Enthusiasm be the final season? The boss over at HBO? Was asked that and he said, we generally leave that up to Larry, And I think he’s been thinking about what he wants to do. He knows it’s been an open invitation, so I think he’s going to decide if he wants to do more or whether this is going to be the final season.
A premier dad for season twelve has not been announced. And we began with Amy Schumer. Let’s end with Amy Schumer Life and Beth as a season two premiere date Friday, February sixteenth. Put it on your calendar. All ten episodes will drop at once in season two of Life and Beth, Beth and John’s relationship grows more serious.
Returning cast members include Amy Schumer, Well That’s good, Michael Sarah, Susannah Flood, and Violet Young, and recurring guest stars like Jaminika Saunders, Michael Rappaport, and rosebud Baker. That is your comedy news for today. You can follow this show many places. I use the pocket cast at myself because I like getting the back episodes. You know, if you use Apple podcasts, they might be like, hey, there’s a new one and not tell about the other ones, like say on a Monday maybe you don’t listen to podcasts on the weekend.
Well, if you were on pocketcasts, you’d get three episodes. But you took out Apple podcasts and they’re like, yeah, here’s the Monday episode that John did, and you missed the two from the weekend. That makes John sad because his back catalog numbers are down. It’s not nice Apple podcasts. So pocket casts, overcasts, Spotify, wherever you get your shows.
You pick see Tomorrow.
